From rule by decent
To those expediated as expendable
In the eleventh hour, promises emerge
The giver of all things makes good
Over and over again we are held by this belief
And as all is repeated
We await for as normal becomes

Whether as serpent
Whether as ignorant
Everything is under control
In conspiracy
In cannibalism
In capitalism
We gather in order and rank

Underneath, traditions perpetuate
Inspirations bubble and pop
Popular legends are repurposed
Symbols are redrawn
Gods and superheroes are mashed
Massacres are forgotten
Eventually, everything is explained away
As conspiracy justify the void within self

The mind-forged manacles I hear
Far from it
This and forever more
Assumptions made in important ways
Systems of control
The devouring function of capitalism
A loss of self to enable ownership
Someone's loss for someone's gain
